Happy Birthday, Thor!!! Hope it's a great one!

I dunno about you, and we're all pretty decent writers around here, but there are certain words that, despite writing literately for thirty years, always give me pause. They kind of look correct, either way. "Their" and "thier" messes me up, a lot. And, since I don't touch type, I won't look up to see that I've botched it. I hate that. Also, I tend not ...

You know how sometimes you'll be talking and you'll get your words switched around? Well, that happened to me today! I was helping my Mom and Dad with grocery shopping, and when we were in the aisle where they keep the bread and peanut butter, my Mom asked me if I remembered buying peanut butter recently. I said, "Yeah. The last time we were at Walgreen's we bought ...

What the heck happened?

This kind of belongs in "TV-Related," but I see it in a lot of places, including overhearing it in countless conversations (including ones that people actually try to start with me). It's those columns and TV segments made up of lists of who is incredibly rich, and precisely how rich. I know the usual reasons for hating that are either "rich jerk-off" or "In a world ...

This was a hit on our old board before the CIH Revolution so I will try it here too since we have so many new people. This is similar to the "discontinued items" topic except this one does not mainly focus on specific consumer company products. Here goes: When I was a child I saw the world as the different place that it was at the time, and now I look around ...

Yay, gas fell below two dollars!! I can now afford an oil change. I seriously had my doubts about ever seeing this day again. I may grab a squishy too!!

Now this time, its Greater!â„¢

This thread is for what you're hearing ("hearing") or listening to right now. A thread like this exists on all of the other BBSs I'm a member of, so it only makes sense to start one here as well. Most of the time, it will be music, but on occasion, a noisy air conditioning unit or thunder might be appropriate here too. Here, let me get this thread started:...

I remember always getting sick in elementary school as a result of my school's hamburgers...in middle school i found blue lint in my fries...I was NOT happy.

I realize that I usually have a thing for musicians that are a little off-kilter or very quirky. But that doesn't explain why I've always had a crush on the late-70s, early-80s version of Rick James! RICK JAMES?!?!?!? Had to make sure I didn't get the Dave Chapelle image there! He didn't even try to hide the fact that he was so skeevy! So why did I...

Musicman (formerly '0000' - I fondly refer to him as 'MM00' (pronounced 'M00!', as in cow language) - started a thread a few days ago...think it may have been 'lost in the shuffle of apparent data recovery'). We started by providing our interpretation of HIS avatar, then started explaining our own...it was really a VERY GOOD thread - VERY enjoyable! By the way - Thanks ...

This is my other grandmother, the one who I have not been taking care of... And the one who actually liked me and that I got along with. She evidently had blood clots in her lungs and just went to the hospital last week because my aunts were finally able to force her to. She was passing out because evidently her intestines were filling up with blood. She spent so much...

Seems nowadays the only time people on the road use their turn signal (indicator) is when they want to tell you that you are in their way. The signal goes on and even if you are in the lane, minding your own business, that they want to get into. They just come over anyway. How dare you not yeild to them. After all, they went through all the trouble of turning on ...

Who do you think this is?
